Amin and Havva fall in love in a country where love must hide.Married in secret inside an old bookstore in Iraq, they risk everything to escape a life bound by fear, tradition, and silence. When they arrive in New York City, freedom finally feels within reach - but the reality of being immigrants in America quickly tests their safety, their faith, and their resilience.As prejudice turns violent and the past refuses to stay buried, Amin and Havva must decide whether courage is simply surviving... or standing visibly in the light.Leaving is a powerful story of forbidden love, displacement, trauma, and healing - a testament to the strength it takes to pursue freedom, build belonging, and remain true to one's conscience in a world determined to challenge it.
